Provider ID Number - The key to using our system is knowing your Provider ID number. This number is issued to each provider and can be found on your provider agreement and each Explanation of Payment (EOP) you receive from us.  Be sure to have your Provider ID number handy when calling WellCare. It allows faster access to our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system and will aid our customer service representatives in responding to your inquiries more quickly.  If you don't know your Provider ID number, contact your local Provider Relations Representative or call Provider Services at 1 (800) 951-7719.

Important Changes in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Process - effective July 15, 2011
WellCare of Ohio accepts electronic claims only through RelayHealth, a division of McKesson.  If your vendor (i.e., practice management system, billing service or clearinghouse) is not connected to RelayHealth, we strongly encourage you to contact them directly and request that they establish this FREE connection. Upon confirmation from your vendor of continued electronic claims submission to WellCare via RelayHealth, no further action is necessary.  
If you have questions regarding submission of EDI transactions directly through RelayHealth, please see the provider notice and FAQs for more information, or refer to your Quick Reference Guides for contact information for providers and vendors.
